The Master of Music (M.Mus.) program provides the environment for accelerated advances in comprehension, skills, and abilities as a performing musician, music pedagogue, or conductor while offering experience in the metier of the contemporary musician. To that end, the School of Music has forged active partnerships with many of the professional music organizations and institutions within the arts community in the greater St. John's region which afford an exceptional range of professional experiences to its graduate students. Included among these partners are the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra, the Canadian Broadcasting Company, Heritage Canada, the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council, and many others. Within the areas of specialization offered for the M.Mus., there is considerable flexibility available to further focus the program to meet specific interests and needs.
